It's Brekkie Time!

This is the glorious sunrise I found waiting to be my reward for dragging my sorry (actually - grumpy, snarly and generally unimpressed) tail out of bed to answer the hungry call of Lord Alan...I don't do mornings with the energy and enthusiasm of a two year old quite the way his Lordship does...and I'm not sure which one of us it bothers more! I haven't admitted this to him yet, but I did say a quiet thank you under my breath for being upright with eyes open to witness this beautiful cloud, on fire with the promise of another day. (OK it was worth getting out of bed for...) I do in fact wish I could embrace the mornings with the liveliness he does...fact is, I just take a bit longer to get the engine humming ...Sights like this one out the kitchen window do help though!

Welcome!

I'm so pleased you've found me! I hope you'll find my blog entertaining, and maybe sometimes even inspiring...You'll find snippets of my textile and mixed media art work, and my life on a cattle property among the posts. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Who is this woman?

As a textile and mixed media artist, I’ve been known to cut open and wash out empty tomato paste tubes, pick up broken, rusted bits of lost jewelry in car parks and hoard plastic shopping bags to create beads to use in my art. If pushing the limits of convention, and daring to try something new are appealing, you might enjoy visiting here from time to time!
And, if you daydream about a life on the land, complete with manure covered, wrangler clad blokes; cows, horses, dogs, cats and the occasional snake, echidna and dead wallaby; you can live vicariously right here (safe from actual encounters with venomous serpents!)
It’s hard to find a connection between those two sets of circumstances, but that connection makes up my life! Texture stops me in my tracks. I gaze at it, feel it, photograph it, am mesmerized by it…race to the studio and try to reproduce it! Gratitude and delight have the exact same effect. Is there anything you enjoy more than stopping, for just a second, to feel the fullness of your heart in the face of something simple, breathtaking and beautiful? No, me either.
